Timing is everything. The NDP recognizes that a short-term elimination of coal is a job and economy killer, and so the phase out is somewhat gradual. The BC Liberal tax would render coal instantaneously uneconomic. We can't have a jobless transition to reducing carbon emissions - even cleantech is dependent on good access to capital and energy. | 0 | not toxic |

History will not be kind to Obama for arming the "moderate rebels" who occupied a quarter of East Aleppo for almost five years. The truth is rapidly coming out about what life was like in this part of the city as journalists interview citizens who lived in fear under their fundamentalist rule, and the "official" Western narrative is falling apart. I've included a link with subtitles* from an accredited French journalist who came back with a completely changed opinion. Canadian journalist Eva Bartlett and English journalist Vanessa Beeley have also travelled extensively in East Aleppo and have interviewed hundreds of refugees from the occupied area. Not only do they challenge the official media narrative regarding the so-called "rebels" but also the demonization of the Government itself by the Obama administration. Both can easily be "googled" and their credibility determined yourself if interested.

Nora, I am sorry that you feel as you do. While I can understand your personal view, I sense it comes from a point of anger dare I say even hatred of the institutional church. I can't let myself go that far. I don't believe that there is a hatred of women but rather an immature priesthood ( and I say that because they are and continue to be stunted emotionally as celibate men) that is incapable of maturing today. They are like little children that can't understand women. I understand that you feel a slower approach is continuing hatred for women, I, however, see it as a pragmatic approach that will lead to justice.
As for the permanent diaconate being nonsense, I disagree with your assessment as it is devised and used in the church. Do I agree and like it? No, but it does entail more authority within the church. Your assessment is wrong and seems again, to come from a place of hate and anger. Anger I can accept, hatred I can't accept. | 0 | not toxic |

How warm and welcoming...but certainly you prove the point about progressive, liberal people.
As you said, if you wanted to hear other opinions, you would seek them out. Therefore, since you don't - you do not. You only wish to hear opinions that agree with your. You do not welcome disagreement, despite the pretense of being accepting of all people. And if it takes name-calling ("trolls," for example) and nasty attacks "you(r) rants are meaningless"), you will use them to chase others away.

All I know about the subject is that my brother has severe allergy to sesame seeds and goes quickly into anaphylactic shock. He needs to have the pens available to him. He just ends up calling 911. We have to read all the ingredients and he can't buy stuff like the bread at that nice bread company because on some they use sesame and also there is cross contamination. Perhaps an interesting bit of info that I read on the internet is in parts of Europe and Canada there are a lot of people that are allergic and it's becoming a problem in the US.

The USA continues to classify marijuana as an illegal drug. Because of the peculiar US federal system and SCOTUS decisions on treaty implementation, states can act unilaterally. That does not apply in Canada as illegality of drugs is an exclusive matter for Parliament.
Portugal, Mexico and the Netherlands have not legalized marijuana - they are decriminalization regimes. As the task force notes the only country that has done so is Uruguay. And as numerous studies and articles note the policy has been pretty much a disaster.

And the argument crime is reduced and fewer prosecutions?
"While in 2013 (the year before cannabis legalization) 739 persons were indicted for drug-related crimes, in 2015 that number raised to 1233. Cannabis is still by far the most seized drug, with 2015 being the historical record."

...how's this for disturbing? Major cost overruns are just the beginning. Using HARTs own figures, it paints a grim picture of just how bad we have been screwed by the corrupt rail system. See, it takes 6 trips per commuter, bus to rail, rail to station and station to destintion, and the reverse going home. 70000 boardings, which must include the bus in the blended rail system , means 11667 round trips for commuters, 7000 of which are pass riders. Monthly revenues from riders is 2.1 mil by HARTs own figures, 1.68 million coming from passes. Assuming all passes are equal, which they are not, this means 7000 into $1.68 million pass revenues is $240.00 a month, or 4 times the going rate of $60.00. Who are they trying to kid? So they not think we can get past HARTese double speak to the true cost, which for passes is monthly cost not trips? | 0 | not toxic |

Bob Atkinson,
I grew up with the Vietnam War.
In 1965 I was a teen who knew where Vietnam was. I knew about the French.
I was knew of Cambodia and it's politics.
Not many American teens knew that much at that time.
It was one of the topics of the '64 election.
My husband (I met in 1973) was a 19 year old from a small town who served there 1969 to 1970. Prior to that he never had heard of Vietnam or where it was.
In 1969, I lived in Hawaii, worked at the airport and saw young Americans soldiers on their chartered flights to Vietnam and back. Yes, I did know there were young Americans who fought and died there as well, dated a few, went to high school with some of them.
The average age of those fighting in Vietnam was 22, not 18.
The majority of POW's were older because many were pilots shot down or were officers (majority were Navy or Air Force). Ron Ridgeway was the youngest POW.
My cousin was a Navy jet pilot who flew missions there too.

I do not think that anyone is choosing a particular brand in religion, namely Islam. I do not think that the Malays in Cape Town identify with being 'coloured'.

Malays who identify with being coloured are either from inter-cultural marriages or there may be confusion with Apartheid being the culprit. It is also not about a withering Malay, but that as time evolve people do too and it may not be all that necessary to identify technically with a group now in post-Apartheid. The other reason may be that more Muslim people now choose unity as in one force in Islam, to being dissected. It depends entirely on how you see yourself.

Though I strongly condemn Israel's West Bank policies, I don't want the Canadian government to do so today. The UN resolution speaks for itself, and rubbing Israel's nose in it will not be helpful.
It's a given that Israel will resist the resolution even though it was passed by Canada's closest allies, including the USA. The Canadian government can help best by working behind the scenes to bring Israel into compliance. And every Canadian can help by supporting the resolution through our actions here. Boycott Israeli goods. Divest yourself of any investments you have in Israeli companies or government bonds.

Hazing is a real problem at the University of Oregon. When I was a pledge, at the house formerly known as Beta Theta Pi, I was subjected to many cruel and unusual punishments and activities. You could say these activities made me into "more of a man", but in the end I now live with an immense fear of squirrels.
The most traumatizing activity was the hell week scavenger hunt. We were givin a list of things to bring to the house and then told what to do with them once we got there. I was given the task of obtaining a squirrel. So I went out and bought some nuts to lure my squirrel brethren from their cozy tree bungalows. After a chess-like game of cat and mouse I eventually caught the little rascal.
Once I brought him into the house, all the brothers cheered and I thought that was the end of my road as a pledge, but oh was I wrong. They then brought me into the basement and instructed me to poop on said squirrel. It penetrated my scrotum and took my nuts home to his fam. Rush Beta:/ | 0 | not toxic |
Indeed - I don't allege anything at all in the example in terms of who is truthful or what really happened. My point is merely that, since both stories are plausible, consistent, and supported by external evidence (i.e. friends of the two people also agreeing that they remember the two people leaving the bar together at a certain time, etc.), it is impossible for the Crown to see a reasonable prospect of conviction, so they decline to charge.
It's not about whether the accusation was "substantiated" or "unfounded" or any other word. It's just a basic fact that the Crown is faced with proving someone's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, and they have nowhere near enough evidence to get there. Remember, "Beyond a reasonable doubt" means proof to an extremely high likelihood of guilt; proof to a virtual certainty.
That is the reason most sexual assault files don't make it trial. It's not politics. It's just plain old insufficient evidence to meet the high standard of proof. | 0 | not toxic |
Well said aunty!!! Hawai'i is more rich without the United States. All our trust in land and gold will be returned to the rightful owners, Na Kanaka. Which the United States knows oh so well this is the 2nd reason besides strategic center for military. This is not a new movement for our people we been awakened from a deep sleep of lies and deceit that our people been fighting since 1893. The brainwashing is over we are now demanding our National Sovereignty..... | 0 | not toxic |
Any cult like Catholicism deserves to ridiculed and treated with contempt. The bizarre beliefs of this silly religion are responsible for the institutionalization of child rape and torture for centuries. Also don't forget that until 1964, anti-semitism was an official doctrine of the church. Why shouldn't any rationale person not have contempt for such an obscene institution? | 1 | toxic |

Again I ask....isn't diversity working great for Anchorage ? Look at the names and faces of who's committing most of the crimes in Anchorage and tell me again why we should celebrate diversity while encouraging even more outsiders to move to Anchorage. | 0 | not toxic |
Thanks, Sarasi (and Colkoch) - I think it would be interesting to have a discussion by women of what theology would or should look like from a woman's perspective. Maybe NCR will have one of the boys tell us. | 0 | not toxic |
